Dumitru a luat \u00eenc\u0103 o \u00eenghi\u021bitur\u0103 de vin \u0219i, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se mai uite la Vera, a spus pe un ton ironic, \u00een italian\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ragazzo mio, te-ai \u00eendr\u0103gostit de o cer\u0219etoare. O fat\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 bani, f\u0103r\u0103 nume, f\u0103r\u0103 viitor.<\/p>\n
Andrei a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n
\u0218tia foarte bine c\u0103 tat\u0103l lui f\u0103cea asta inten\u021bionat. De c\u00e2te ori voia s\u0103 jigneasc\u0103 pe cineva la mas\u0103, trecea pe italian\u0103. \u00cei pl\u0103cea s\u0103 cread\u0103 c\u0103 restul lumii nu \u00een\u021belege.<\/p>\n
Dar Vera a ridicat \u00eencet privirea.<\/p>\n
\u0218i, calm, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ridice vocea, a r\u0103spuns \u00een aceea\u0219i limb\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Uneori oamenii care au prea mul\u021bi bani uit\u0103 ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 fii om.<\/p>\n
Lingura lui Dumitru a r\u0103mas suspendat\u0103 \u00een aer.<\/p>\n
Pentru o clip\u0103, \u00een \u00eenc\u0103pere s-a f\u0103cut lini\u0219te deplin\u0103. Nici muzica nu se mai auzea.<\/p>\n
Andrei s-a uitat la Vera cu ochii mari.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tu\u2026 vorbe\u0219ti italian\u0103? a \u00eentrebat el.<\/p>\n
Vera a dat din umeri, simplu.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am studiat la Bologna doi ani.<\/p>\n
Dumitru a clipit des. Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een acea sear\u0103, nu mai p\u0103rea sigur pe el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Interesant\u2026 a murmurat el. \u0218i de ce nu ai spus asta?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 nu era important.<\/p>\n
Ea \u0219i-a \u00eendreptat spatele \u0219i a continuat lini\u0219tit:<\/p>\n
\u2014 C\u00e2nd lucrezi cu copii care abia pot rosti primul cuv\u00e2nt, nu conteaz\u0103 c\u00e2te limbi str\u0103ine \u0219tii. Conteaz\u0103 r\u0103bdarea.<\/p>\n
Dumitru a str\u00e2ns buzele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i totu\u0219i\u2026 a spus el \u00eencet. Salariul t\u0103u r\u0103m\u00e2ne mic.<\/p>\n
Vera a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ave\u021bi dreptate. Nu e mare.<\/p>\n
\u0218i atunci a scos din geant\u0103 un plic sub\u021bire.<\/p>\n
L-a pus pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar asta este.<\/p>\n
Dumitru l-a privit suspicios.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce e?<\/p>\n
\u2014 O h\u00e2rtie.<\/p>\n
El a deschis-o.<\/p>\n
Privirea i s-a schimbat imediat.<\/p>\n
Era un document de dona\u021bie.<\/p>\n
O dona\u021bie de 3 milioane de lei<\/strong> pentru centrul de copii cu dizabilit\u0103\u021bi din Bra\u0219ov.<\/p>\n Semnat\u0103\u2026 Vera Popescu.<\/p>\n Dumitru a ridicat \u00eencet capul.<\/p>\n \u2014 De unde ai\u2026?<\/p>\n Vera a vorbit simplu, ca \u0219i cum ar fi spus ceva obi\u0219nuit.<\/p>\n \u2014 Bunicul meu a avut o mic\u0103 fabric\u0103 de mobil\u0103. Dup\u0103 ce a murit, am v\u00e2ndut-o.<\/p>\n Andrei o privea uluit.<\/p>\n \u2014 Nu mi-ai spus niciodat\u0103\u2026<\/p>\n \u2014 Pentru c\u0103 nu voiam s\u0103 conteze.<\/p>\n Dumitru a r\u0103mas t\u0103cut.<\/p>\n Pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba lui, nu mai avea replic\u0103.<\/p>\n Vera a continuat:<\/p>\n \u2014 Banii sunt utili, domnule Dumitru. Pot construi cl\u0103diri frumoase.<\/p>\n A f\u0103cut o pauz\u0103 scurt\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Dar uneori pot construi \u0219i oameni.<\/p>\n Ea s-a ridicat \u00eencet de la mas\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Copiii aceia vor avea logoped, terapii \u0219i o sal\u0103 de recuperare nou\u0103. Pentru mine, asta valoreaz\u0103 mai mult dec\u00e2t orice apartament de lux.<\/p>\n Andrei s-a ridicat imediat l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n Pe fa\u021ba lui se vedea o m\u00e2ndrie lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n Dumitru i-a privit pe am\u00e2ndoi.<\/p>\n Apoi a l\u0103sat documentul pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n Deodat\u0103, vocea lui nu mai era aspr\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Vera\u2026<\/p>\n Ea s-a \u00eentors.<\/p>\n B\u0103rbatul b\u0103tr\u00e2n a inspirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n \u2014 Eu am construit sute de blocuri.<\/p>\n A f\u0103cut o pauz\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Dar cred c\u0103 tu construie\u0219ti ceva mai greu.<\/p>\n Vera nu a spus nimic.<\/p>\n Doar a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n \u0218i pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een acea sear\u0103, Dumitru nu a mai v\u0103zut \u00een fa\u021ba lui \u201eo fat\u0103 s\u0103rac\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n Ci o femeie puternic\u0103.<\/p>\n Iar \u00een lini\u0219tea salonului, chiar \u0219i jazzul p\u0103rea s\u0103 sune altfel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dumitru a luat \u00eenc\u0103 o \u00eenghi\u021bitur\u0103 de vin \u0219i, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se mai uite la Vera, a spus pe un ton ironic, \u00een italian\u0103: \u2014 Ragazzo mio, te-ai \u00eendr\u0103gostit de o cer\u0219etoare.
